Really sad to see that even if you 'make it' and make a lot of money, you can (and probably will) lose it all given enough time. Never put all of your eggs in one basket. :/

Who said the founders/managers were going to lose in aggregate? They may have set aside a nest egg in peak years and not want to dip into that.

I never said that - I said they were going to lose their month-by-month income, not their total savings.

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
